UNION COUNTY, N.C. — Emergency crews were called to a Union County home on Sunday afternoon for an unorthodox reason: a horse in the homeowner’s pool.
According to Midland Fire and Rescue’s Twitter page, the department was called to assist the Wesley Chapel Fire Department at a home on Foxbridge Drive.
Midland Fire and Rescue helped by sending a specially trained large animal rescue technician.
Crews say the horse, whose name is Lexi, was safely lifted out of the pool just before 3 p.m.
Officials have not released how the horse got into the pool.
